About This Event

Aspiring MC Taran and her twin brother Hari are swept up in changes taking place in Firestone House, the tower block they call home.

When Hari is caught up in a tragedy, they’re forced to go on the run, racing to uncover the sinister truth behind what's going on before it blows their world apart.
